Conducts comprehensive medication reviews to help people with complex medication regimens get the best results out of their medications
I became a pharmacist because I was motivated to help older people, such as my grandparents, be as healthy as possible. I saw that the best way to achieve my goal was to provide simple-to-understand drug education and help people navigate the complicated U.S. healthcare system. This is why I believe writing simple and straightforward health information for GoodRx can help empower people with healthcare information that they can discuss with their providers.
